educational experience Enhance your continuing education adventure by participating in the Rehab Rally Conference & Expo 2012 experience! A powerhouse event for PT, OT and AT professionals, Rehab Rally was built with flexibility in mind. Rehab Rally presenters, engaging in approach, are ready to create an electrifying educational environment. Attendees can expect an unmatched learning atmosphere where extraordinary video, in conjunction with top-quality audio, will make every seat the ‘best seat in the house’. Interactive presentations will make subject matter easily embraceable, while flexibility will allow for maximum customization to meet your individual needs. As proponents of variety, we’re excited to offer a vast array of rehabilitation topics! The conference is built around three approved tracts covering an immense spectrum of exhilarating material, including: • Tract 1 - General Therapy • Tract 2 - Geriatric Rehabilitation • Tract 3 - Orthopedic/Sports Each tract consists of multi-disciplined and highly-credentialed presenters that will provide a well-rounded, theme oriented educational experience. However, should an attendee want to add some spice to the experience, they will be able to smoothly transition (“tract skip”) between tracts to create a tailored continuing education event by attending sessions from multiple tracts. Looking for more flexibility? An attendee that would like to fulfill Live CEU requirements and continue to take advantage of the convenience of Home Study Programs can choose to maximize the learning experience by selecting one of our flexible Live/Home Study Bundle options. 20 Live Contact Hours may be earned at RehabRally, with purchase options including the live conference only, or “bundling-up” to receive up to 75 hours of continuing education credit (created by bundling Live and Home Study courses). Join us to complete your continuing education requirement, among peers, in dynamic Chicago! COVER LETTER FROM ANNE! WHY REHAB RALLY?

tract 1: course descriptions Tract 1: General Therapy Friday, August 24th 7:30 a.m. - Noon Session 101: Current Principles of Wound Care Bill Richlen, PT, WCC, CWS The purpose of Current Principles of Wound Care is to familiarize the medical professional with the current principles, practices and approaches that are used to treat wounds in accordance with the established standards of care. This provides the clinician with the knowledge and confidence to recommend the most appropriate treatments for their patients. This session will cover the phases of healing, the different types of wound repair and the many factors that can adversely affect the healing process. We will discuss the different ways to manage or treat these factors including the vital steps involved in comprehensive wound bed preparation to improve the healing of our wounds and better patient outcomes. Friday, August 24th 1:30 p.m. – 6 p.m. Session 102: Resistive Exercise for Stroke Rehab Stacey Davis, OTR/L, CKTP Resistive Exercise for Stroke Rehab is a hands-on course designed to improve the clinical rehabilitation skills using a scientific and systematic approach. The emphasis of this course is to provide scientific information to improve problem-solving skills in order to support evidence-based practice and improve your clinical decisionmaking skills. This course provides treatment techniques and exercise protocols using resistive bands for therapists involved in neurological rehabilitation. Specific exercises are then introduced including exercises for the UE, LE, and core stabilization techniques to increase overall function as well as balance. Resistive bands will be used and attendees are given lab time to practice techniques. Allied health professionals will gain new ideas on providing treatment that can be applied immediately in the daily care of patients. Saturday, August 25th 7:30 a.m. - Noon Session 103: Evaluating and Writing an Effective Home Modification Evaluation Scott Anderle, PT, CAPS During this presentation the participant will enter the exciting world of performing a home evaluation and writing an effective home modification report for their clients. This presentation will enhance the skill set level of the participant so they will be able to gather the relevant and unique information of the client and their home environment. The participant will be educated on how to assimilate and produce an effective home modification report, thus working towards reducing costs, stress and tension within a home modification project. Many key elements of a home modification report will be explored along with how to create the most effective and professional home modification report for your clients.

Schmidt DPT, MS, OCS, LMT, CEAS, CHy Muscle Energy Technique (MET)/ Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Re-education (PNF) is an evidence-based intervention for correcting somatic dysfunctions which contribute to pain, limited mobility, muscle weakness and disability. Dr. Fred Mitchell Sr., DO developed MET in 1948 to restore proper biomechanics and functional movement. Precise active muscle contractions and positions are used to normalize tension and restore functional motion. Knott and Voss introduced their version of a related technique, PNF, at the same time. Both MET and PNF are used to re-educate abnormal neuromotor reflexes, facilitate normal muscle action and inhibit hypertonicity. This hands-on guided exercise is gentle enough to apply without the need for forceful manipulation procedures. MET/PNF may be incorporated clinically and in home exercise programs to improve mobility and promote functional outcomes. Lecture, discussion and hands-on video demonstration will be presented to show how this valuable intervention can make a difference in your practice. Sunday, August 26th 7:30 a.m. - Noon Session 105: Positioning for Function Michelle Lange, OTR, ABDA, ATP/SMS Determining an optimal seating system begins with a positioning evaluation. This course will present positioning in a functional context, systematically addressing the pelvis, trunk, extremities and head. Common positional challenges for each area will be discussed, including causes, interventions and goals. Case studies will be included. www.RehabRally.com 800.554.2387 7
